Job description

We’re working with a thriving East Midlands MSP on a brand new role, one that’s been created because the business is genuinely growing. Six new clients are lined up over the next six months, and they need a Senior 3rd Line Support Engineer who can hit the ground running, take ownership of the complex stuff, and be a real support to the team around them.

This is predominantly a desk-based support role, with a small number of planned client site visits each month (no reactive call-outs). You’ll report directly to the Head of Service and sit at the top of the service desk structure.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Taking ownership of complex escalated tickets and seeing them through to a proper resolution
  • Being the go-to for the team - approachable, reliable, and technically sharp
  • Mentoring first and second-line engineers and helping them develop
  • Building and improving knowledge base documentation
  • Contributing to project delivery and migrations where needed
  • Occasional planned maintenance visits to Midlands-based clients (approx. twice a month)

Requirements

Do you have a valid Driving License license?, Do you have experience in Technical support?, * 3+ years in a customer-facing MSP support role (or strong equivalent experience)

  • Strong Microsoft 365, Azure/Entra, Active Directory, and networking fundamentals
  • A methodical troubleshooter who goes for root cause, not quick fixes
  • Calm and confident communicator - both remotely and with clients face-to-face
  • Full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle
  • RMM/PSA tool experience is a bonus

Benefits & conditions

  • £35,000 - £45,000 depending on experience
  • Private healthcare with Vitality
  • Quarterly performance-related pay
  • EMI share scheme
  • Paid professional exams and weekly training sessions
  • A genuine pathway into a project-focused role as the business grows
  • A tight-knit team where attitude is valued as much as ability

IND7

Pay: £35,000.00-£45,000.00 per year
